This song is so special to me, I am 6 months sober today. This album and this song especially has given me hope, strength and comfort on this crazy journey.
SWEET!!! That's truly amazing!! What a great feeling it will be on your one-year! Don't turn your back on the enemy! That knocking on the door can happen at any moment and you gotta stay strong! Blessings my friend!
Eminem changed my life. I was 19 when his first album with Dre came out. I struggled with drugs, mental health and domestic violence. He walked me down SO MANY trails with his honesty and his story. I could never repeat what he's given me. He is my all-time favorite celebrity. I don't care what anyone says about him; he could do no wrong with me
Crazy thing with Em and kim is that he always took good care of her, mansion, court fees, cars, all without a court order to do so. Adopted her kid with another man, then adopted her sister's kid even though they weren't together .
He did sort of cause her to become a crack head and blasted it all over his music. They were both bad and grew up, it’s just that Em stepped up in a remarkable way

Changes was a song sung originally by Ozzy Osbourne the lead singer of the 1970s rock band Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath was an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne is the singer in Eminem's version of Changes.

@@silmoherurosaslie incorrect, changes was a Black Sabbath song. Bark at the moon was ozzy and jake e lee I believe. Like he said, ozzy eventually did changes with Kelly in the early 00’s.
Well done dude... I scrolled down to make sure someone said it was Ozzy... You got me covered 5 times better than I would have personally done... Kudos.
8 years clean, def one of those who think eminem helped save me, and kinda helped raise me. Related to him so much and felt seen by some of his songs, others make me laugh, others I'm baffled at how he raps, hes really just so amazing at what he does.
Congratulations! 5 years clean myself and i couldn’t agree more, so many of his songs are relatable and feel connected to personal issues. Traits of an amazing musician.
Recovery was the album I bought when being in rehab at age 14. Back then I didn't even understand English much but the song specifically and the whole album instantly spoke to me
You'll also really love Em's song "Talkin 2 Myself," which is also off Recovery. The song also deals with his recovery, another one where he's so candid and open. Dont wanna give more than info that, but the song is also amazing. No official video unfortunately but heres a link to a lyric video. Hope to see you check it out one day! ruclips.net/video/MNY7fQSWfSw/видео.html
Omg, I can't listen to this song without my eyes getting wet. I'm going through changes as well lately. From a guy standing on the bridge crying, looking down ready to jump couple months ago to a guy being in the process of starting my dream business. Damn it's hard, really hard sometimes but now I know suicide is not an option. I even googled and saved a therapist number but I'm still too scared to ask for help. I also saved couple suicide prevention numbers to have them already on my phone in case I would be in this situation again. Loved the reaction! P.s. You guys can change your life too! One day at a time, don't rush it... it's a long process but it's worth it.
As someone whose been on both sides of the therapy couch, I always recommend reaching out...self-injury and/or suicidal thoughts are very common and therapy is great place to learn more about the thoughts, potential causes, and honestly a great place to just kind of vent or start/keep life goals on track...glad you're doing better even though it's hard...keep your head high you king/queen/non-binary monachary
@@LGDrunk thanks, I know I should go to the therapist asap. I'm sure it would make everything easier but the problem is... I've never asked anybody for help in my entire life. I've learned that I must handle stuff by myself and I've learned it hard way. I know it's bad for me to think like that but still... I'm not strong enough to ask for help.
@@that_averagetyp Given what you shared in your first comment, I have a feeling that you're stronger than you give yourself credit for. It's understandable to be on the fence about therapy, it's not a cure-all. The main thing is just knowing you're not alone and you can bounce ideas off anyone if you're looking for them. Maybe just hanging out on Larryshair and listening to music with folks and sharing meaning/experiences is helpful. And sometimes help is just having a fifteen minute conversation with a friend about Netflix shows or tacos, any random thing that distracts us or reminds us that the entire world is not completely miserable. You can always call someone and say "I'm just waiting on my laundry and thought it'd be fun to catch up" (you don't have to ask for help, sometimes a distraction is enough). I wasn't expecting a reply, but I'm really glad I got one. I hope things are still getting better.
@@LGDrunk This channel is the main reason I started to fight for better future. I found it when I was at my lowest. This bridge situation I shared happened couple days after I saw Chris's reaction to "I'm sorry" by Joyner Lucas and I remembered his words "It's not worth it" and "There's always other options". God knows how would it end if I didn't watch that video. Now I know I'm not alone, but this channel and comment section is the only place I know I can be my real self... in real life I act like normal happy, funny guy. This channel is my therapy.
@@that_averagetyp Well I'm glad you found it. Now I gotta go find that video/song lol (I'm somewhat new to the channel and mostly listen to the Eminem stuff but I venture out on other videos here and there)
I would recommend “Difficult”, it hasn’t been released but you can find it on RUclips. Such a powerful and raw song.“You’re never over” is a gem as well.
I had a time in 2017 that I locked myself in my room all the time that I wasn't in college class or with my family. I kept the lights off and laid around all the time. It was during this time I almost ended it. I thought I didn't have anyone that cared and that's why I secluded myself. I didn't want people to hurt like I did. Music saved my life. Eminem, Billie, X, and some others were on that list. I believe God worked through their mouths to not only save me, but many millions of others going through what I did. I thank god everyday that I made it out of that hole. Talk to people. Trust me there are people who love you.
Man, Ozzy's voice is so clear. I had to look it up to make sure it was him, but his voice is so distinctive. LOL, Ozzy cannot be understood at all when he is talking, but his voice and singing is clear as a bell. Well done with your sobriety. Never mess or belittle anyone's sobriety. Take it seriously. Congratulate them on milestones, support them, encourage them, and if they fall, give them a hand up back onto that wagon
Eminem is literally one of the most humble guy ever... He has done so many good things especially that he has donated over 200 millions on charity offmedia. I don't know that do people understand what i tried to say😂😂
I was glad he wrote a song detailing why he was taking all those sleeping pills and overdosed from his perspective and woke up in the hospital had his stomach pumped and got a new lease on life, crazy it wasn't all over TMZ when it happened. My favorite part is he says this is for you Hailie I still love your mother and would do anything for her. He must have talked to her when she was younger about their separation. Hailie has a podcast now she might spill the beans on some of Em's song lyrics about her in future episodes I'd look that up.
I’ve always personally thought that Em, referencing Hallie, when he says ‘I’m afraid if I close my eyes, I might see her’. Is his personal hell. If he ends his life, and closes his eyes for the final time, he will eternally just see her face
I love how Eminem with his songs helps you feel what he feels and helps you with it at the same time. That’s how good he is with his songs. Every time I hear this song it reminds me how vulnerable we all are and at the same time how strong we can be. Such a real and raw reaction 👍👍👍
On my second day of no nicotine and weed and this is really helping eminem was on another level and i appreciate the both of yall for helping me recover...
@larryshair thanks man over a week and it's getting pretty tough but I won't give in. If you ever get a chance check out big krit at the bet awards he gives one of the best speeches I've heard on injustice in America it's worth a watch even if it doesn't go on the channel(video is recorded off a TV)
This is probably my favorite Em song. After my best friend passed i crawled into a bottle and a lot of self loathing. This song has too many parallels with what i experienced then id like to admit. Like Em: my daughter, this song basically on repeat, and finally reconnecting with my “family”, all helped me pull through. through the dark i was living in.
By the way Larry, another song that I think you would like a lot is "Believe", it's not very well known, it's from the "Revival" album it's a song that is very underrated but knowing you, it's another song that catches you and will turn you on the hairs stand on end... trust me.
There is a nice animated lyric video for it: ruclips.net/video/CmxZ5V7quJw/видео.html Made by Randy Criz who later did "Godzilla" and the official "Tone Deaf" lyric video.
Part of the reason I love Eminem is when he personified slim shady, I was a boy in elementary who was starting to feel the angst of peer pressure and fitting in. I never went through the struggles he did but I felt that an artist had the same outcome of anger. Then throughout his journey, it’s like I grew with him as he grew into the healthy state he got to. Love your reactions and to be sharing experiences with another fellow Christian
I was one of them people who tried to end it all and came extremely close and now im out the other side writing poems and trying to help others who are going through the same thing
Ahh this song smashes u in the heart,having kids of my own I understand what he is saying,I could never leave them behind to navigate this changing somewhat difficult life. Just keep going,improve ur own life,surround urself with honest reliable friends and family and eventually u will see everything will start to work out. Life would be boring if it was easy,it's the challenges u put on urself that will keep u going. Em is 1 of a kind and there will never be another like him
Awesome reaction as always👏, seen what em has gone through with drugs is one of the reason I don't even try to experiment any type of drugs I suggest you react to "you're never over"
I was so trapped with 7 kids in a horrible DV relationship his music helped give me courage and strength to get us out!! It’s strange I know being a 49 year old mom with 9 grandkids now saying how Eminem helped saved me but it is what it is.
It's so strange to have grown up with Eminem. Songs that were good when I was in my 20s have completely changed meaning as I'm in my late 30s. I definitely understand the appeal to the legal drugs. I have struggled with the draw to them for many years.. it holds me so tight, I refused to take anything more than motrin after my csections. I have luckily escaped serious addiction but not because I'm better than anyone else or more resistant - it's pure luck. This song hits different now. Thank you for re-igniting my love of this incredible man.
Deja vu hits me hard I have seizures sometimes and wake up in a hospital full of tubes I hate it but I can not do anything about it because I was born with a fast heartbeat. But this fast heartbeat gives my brain the ability to understand all of what Eminem rhymes
Every time I hear this song, I don't know why ,but I automatically start to cry, because it reminds me of my dark past and the times I don't want to remember and experience ever again. :(
2 years clean on Nov. 13th. Never imagined how much life has to offer. Today I can finally look in the mirror and I don't want to destroy the man looking back at me. Recovery is possible!
you have to listen to "you're never over" next, it's a full dedication to proof and it's off of recovery as well ruclips.net/video/HxHIqarAefY/видео.html
What a beautiful reaction, Chris. You're a special man. A support-pillar, right here on the internet. I'm sure there are quite a few people out there leaning on you right now. If you were any lesser man, I'd be afraid of that burden, but not with you. Keep doing what you're doing, Chris. There will still be enough time for Angelina😊 Love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks Pool for this comment. Chris may not know it but he has helped me and I’m sure many others. He shows love, understanding and so much wisdom. Thanks to you and Patti for always having kind and encouraging comments for Chris. He is a very special guy.
man I am not kidding you are possibly my favorite creator on youtube.. I genuinely love your Eminem reactions, keep up the solid work for years to come.
@@larryshair I highly recommend you react to “You’re never over” if you haven’t yet! It is a beautiful tribute to his best friend Proof, very heartfelt.
Eminem and Chester Bennington. One still with us, one no longer here. Both have saved more lives through their music and stories than it's possible to know. Linkin Park will always be one of the GOATs, just like Eminem. I strongly, STRONGLY encourage you to listen to just about anything from Linkin Park if you haven't already. Hybrid Theory, Meteora, Minutes To Midnight, A Thousand Suns, Living Things, The Hunting Party, One More Light - those are the 7 studio albums by LP, and while not every song on them is a mega hit, I defy you to find one BAD song on any of them. Spoiler alert: There isn't one. Chester had mental health issues; I believe that is why he is no longer with us (via suicide) and was unable to pull himself out of it like Eminem was. Two of the greatest artists of all time, and they are more alike than they are different.
It took me months asking you for this reaction and for you to listen to this song, finally! And I knew you were going to love it, because it's emotional, it touches important points of Em and I think it grabs anyone who listens to it. It is one of my favorites. The choir is sung by Black Sabbath (Ozzy), Em accompanies him from the second verse. Em is very fond of rock, that's why there are also many songs that you hear some sound or reference to some iconic song.
There have been times that I was on a cocktail of substances listening to Eminem playing the same tracks over and over again in my own little world, when I was a teenager when I was in my early 20's when I was in my mid and late 20's I have been high drunk and other listening to eminem sober and all at different ages you can relate and find things and even understand more but eminem has helped me.
Man, i love your reactions, not just the respect and appreciation for eminems music, but for people in general. I can hear the sincerity when you give out a hand to people you dont know but are willing to say 'talk to me' ..we are in this together! Legend! Give 'your never over' a go by eminem...his song for Proof! Brilliant song
Omg finally! I’ve asked you to do this so many times! I’m so glad you finally have because I knew you would love understanding and empathising with more of his struggles through his music x
Happy August Chris! So good to see your smile again. Hugs from Colorado🤗. Sure pray that your family is doing well. Appreciate your positive reactions.
As someone with a daughter and who has gone (still going) through mental health issues, this song really hits home. Your reactions are awesome and it's great to see a genuine guy going through his eminem journey. Eminem is massively misunderstood by so many people.
I am not an Em fan but this song is really sending out a message. I love watching your vids cause you are so in touch with the details. You watch and hear every nuance in a song. Your disturbed, sound of silence was mind blowing. The details you pulled out of that video was very insightful. Love your work bro, keep it up. Oh and by the way, you are a very good looking man. Very good looking.
I knew this wouldn't be an easy one emotionally, but I'm so glad you reacted to it, since it's one of those songs about Em's life specifically and with substance (not as in drugs, but as in lyrical content). Songs like "Love The Way You Lie" are more about picking a topic and telling a story around it but it's not directly related to Em's life. Great reaction from you, I was tense through the whole thing and you gave great advice for people who are struggling! This one and "Not Afraid" I was waiting for the reactions and I loved both of them, for "Not Afraid" I really loved how hyped you were and stood up clapping and said it was the best song you ever heard 😄 But back to songs about his life directly - "Talking 2 Myself" ( ruclips.net/video/SwxT_O0HEFU/видео.html ) and "Guts Over Fear" ( ruclips.net/video/0AqnCSdkjQ0/видео.html ) still recommended. Edit: Also a little unfortunate that this version of "Going Through Changes" had some minor faults in the lyrics, I guess not everyone looks through the videos they recommend to you 😄 It's not that bad though, were just some words.
The sample used for the chorus is Ozzy Osbourne's Changes, that's him in the chorus as well as Em. I always love the words of wisdom you have to give folks. There comes a point in addiction where your body need the drugs in order to not feel sick....the addiction now has an addiction. Surround yourself with people who want to help make you a better you!! YES!! You cannot be motivated to make a change in your life if you are surround by fake friends, people who don't want to see you do better, people who just agree and nod their heads. Reminds me of a song by NF called Remember This....one of the verses is Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think Not people that nod their head and act like they agree Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be, If you haven't that song Chris, you need to, you'll love it. Great reaction, great words of advice, love your stories...and yep, same thing happens to me when he mentions Hailie, tears come. All the sound effects added before that last verse gets me every time...hair stands on end. #payitforward ALWAYS 💯💯❤❤
i dont know if youre gonna do this but on the topic of Proof, he has an incredible song called "Kurt Kobain" , i would definitely recommended it, it was made 1 year before his death
I'm so grateful i found your channel. you are the most understanding down to earth person i have witnessed on this app. I've got sentences in my head but i cant put them together on here i just appreciate everything you say. to everyone else reading this, you can only get so low, once you reach that point, eventually you will see everything come together and you will realise what a mistake it would've been if you went through with the dark thoughts in your head. please try to keep your head high and stay strong because you are loved.
Thank you for this one your a great human and we appreciate your energy to spread positivity and stay working hard 💪 em is everything to me yes saved my life many occasions you are right to say he has helped so many 😊
I’ve been clean almost 2 years now and I used to listen to these songs while I was on drugs and now being off them I listen to it and it gives me the chills.
"It's Never Over" is and always be a song that will hit WAY to close to home as someone who lost his best friend to an overdose. The song is a tribute to Proof off Recovery.
You should do talkin 2 myself from the same album it’s a great one It’s amazing I loved this album when it came out and really related took me another 6 years to figure out why though lol but 8 years later I’m sober and happy and still love this album
Never had a problem with drugs, but I am schizophrenic. Everytime I hear this song it always hits me in my gut. I actually cried a little watching this reaction, since I had a tough day at work today. Idk how to express myself, but I am gonna get with a psychiatrist asap now. I have been putting it off lately and I think I should do it tomorrow morning. Thanks for the great video and a reminder to always be reaching to get better everyday.
Dude, Opioids/Opiates(everything from vicodin to heroin) are the best thing to NEVER, EVER DO!! NEVER. NOT EVEN FOR PAIN! PLs trust me. Genuine pain turned me into a guinea pig of the opioid pandemic...and I made it to tell the tale. And YES, even though the majority of my issue WAS prescribed, I KNEW I deserved a better life and needed help to get it..I go to a methadone clinic now after years of prescribed opioid abuse. (That's what the clinic calls my situation: "abuse via prescription directions"...wow)
I wouldn't say this is the song that did it for me but like I have said on and off in comments to you Larry that Em has done a lot while people hate him for unnecessary things and yeah he is a hellraiser but considering his upbringing, it showed us we can still live life. I have had many attempts on my life and others trying to kill me for their own personal gain, I had to be different from the pain that lead me down the void. Em changed my life with his words and when he starts to do inspirational stuff like this, reflecting is what I end up doing. I was a mute on and off as a kid and got sick a lot. I couldn't use words the way everyone else did and I struggled with basic English and cannot speak Spanish yet after all this time because i needed to grow my speech comprehension. Listening to Em the first time around excited me because of his fun but crazy off the wall side. It made me want to push myself. Years later, I practiced Rap God for 5 months just to practice vocal work and improve my speech. I can safely say I can do just that and I got way better at rapping because of his complicated lyrical content. So every time I listen to his music from Mockingbird to Hailie's Song, etc. It changed my view to the world too. He gave me the strength to move on and that is why I will always support Marshall Mathers. I listened to so many of his songs
He's saved mine. There's been multiple times where the entire world is drowned out and im completely disconnected and the only thing I could use to get somewhat of a grip to pull myself back down to earth was Marshall.
I would love to see you react to "You're Never Over" which is one of Em's ode to Proof; or talking 2 myself which is some great self reflecting by em..
I have read many times comments about people who said that the Eminem songs saved their lives......it's very shocking to know that......but is real that he talk about things in his songs that most people don't wanna talk about or know......and I think that for this reason he have a huge fan base and he still been one of the best artist of the latest years.....becaufe of that he is diferent.......Great reaction......!
The the emotion you show on the channel on the music ,knowing when Em writes those heartfelt lyrics you know its the truth of an actual moment he went through.....I didn't get into his music when he was first on the scene I am 39 I just couldn't relate or take in his lyrics but the past 7 years I have went from the he's ok to he's hands down the G.O.A.T ......he puts it all out there,penmanship is masterery.....anyone says other about his music are just lying or plain out hater cause when your on top for 25 yrs you'll be hated ....sad as it sounds
I think you are such a good RUclipsr. I am really happy to see a guy in the age of my mom or dad understanding how big Eminem is. The lyrics and the story behind. I am from Germany enjoying you nearly every time you make a video. Thanks a lot man. Hopefully my English is good enough for you. Hope you understand my guy. 😊
when you said True friend it honestly reminds me of - STEVE-O - from jackass , the AMOUNT of time and energy his spent on bam trying to get him back on his feet and shows he believes in him even after all these years , its amazing to see , must be really sad and tiring though seeing your friend just waste away not taking advice and thinking your getting attacked by someone who is honestly looking out and doesn't want you to die =(
This song is so deep. I have 5 years 4 months off heroin/cocaine and man.. it hits home my wife died 2 months into my recovery from an Overdose and only made me stronger, made me hate the crap more
I don’t tune in on every video, but every once in a while I see a song you’re reviewing and I know you’re going to have emotions. This is one of them. Your emotions are what brought me here. They’re genuine, thats rare these days. Hope all is well
Would really recommend those kinda nights it's a more story sided song and it features Ed sheeran which is always a plus very slept on song on his newer album
This song is so special to me, I am 6 months sober today. This album and this song especially has given me hope, strength and comfort on this crazy journey.
SWEET!!! That's truly amazing!! What a great feeling it will be on your one-year! Don't turn your back on the enemy! That knocking on the door can happen at any moment and you gotta stay strong! Blessings my friend!

It's understandable to be on the fence about therapy, it's not a cure-all. The main thing is just knowing you're not alone and you can bounce ideas off anyone if you're looking for them. Maybe just hanging out on Larryshair and listening to music with folks and sharing meaning/experiences is helpful. And sometimes help is just having a fifteen minute conversation with a friend about Netflix shows or tacos, any random thing that distracts us or reminds us that the entire world is not completely miserable. You can always call someone and say "I'm just waiting on my laundry and thought it'd be fun to catch up" (you don't have to ask for help, sometimes a distraction is enough). I wasn't expecting a reply, but I'm really glad I got one. I hope things are still getting better.
@@LGDrunk This channel is the main reason I started to fight for better future. I found it when I was at my lowest. This bridge situation I shared happened couple days after I saw Chris's reaction to "I'm sorry" by Joyner Lucas and I remembered his words "It's not worth it" and "There's always other options". God knows how would it end if I didn't watch that video. Now I know I'm not alone, but this channel and comment section is the only place I know I can be my real self... in real life I act like normal happy, funny guy. This channel is my therapy.
@@that_averagetyp Well I'm glad you found it. Now I gotta go find that video/song lol (I'm somewhat new to the channel and mostly listen to the Eminem stuff but I venture out on other videos here and there)
This song is the number one Eminem song that saved me from depression when I was younger.
When I was on heroin, I loved it. I probably still love it. But, I'm going on 5 years clean & sober and I love that even more. I will never go back.
I would recommend “Difficult”, it hasn’t been released but you can find it on RUclips. Such a powerful and raw song.“You’re never over” is a gem as well.
I had a time in 2017 that I locked myself in my room all the time that I wasn't in college class or with my family. I kept the lights off and laid around all the time. It was during this time I almost ended it. I thought I didn't have anyone that cared and that's why I secluded myself. I didn't want people to hurt like I did. Music saved my life. Eminem, Billie, X, and some others were on that list. I believe God worked through their mouths to not only save me, but many millions of others going through what I did. I thank god everyday that I made it out of that hole. Talk to people. Trust me there are people who love you.
Recovery is an amazing album.
Man, Ozzy's voice is so clear. I had to look it up to make sure it was him, but his voice is so distinctive. LOL, Ozzy cannot be understood at all when he is talking, but his voice and singing is clear as a bell.
Well done with your sobriety. Never mess or belittle anyone's sobriety. Take it seriously. Congratulate them on milestones, support them, encourage them, and if they fall, give them a hand up back onto that wagon
wow i never knew it was ozzy lol
@@hayleye96 Yep, Black Sabbath's Changes.
Ozzy Osborne singing the chorus might be symbolic since he's also moved past drug problems. Original song is from Black Sabbath
For real? I never knew that, but I always wondered who this was
Thanks for the info 🙌🏼
Eminem is literally one of the most humble guy ever... He has done so many good things especially that he has donated over 200 millions on charity offmedia. I don't know that do people understand what i tried to say😂😂
I was glad he wrote a song detailing why he was taking all those sleeping pills and overdosed from his perspective and woke up in the hospital had his stomach pumped and got a new lease on life, crazy it wasn't all over TMZ when it happened. My favorite part is he says this is for you Hailie I still love your mother and would do anything for her. He must have talked to her when she was younger about their separation. Hailie has a podcast now she might spill the beans on some of Em's song lyrics about her in future episodes I'd look that up.
I’ve always personally thought that Em, referencing Hallie, when he says ‘I’m afraid if I close my eyes, I might see her’. Is his personal hell. If he ends his life, and closes his eyes for the final time, he will eternally just see her face
I love how Eminem with his songs helps you feel what he feels and helps you with it at the same time. That’s how good he is with his songs. Every time I hear this song it reminds me how vulnerable we all are and at the same time how strong we can be. Such a real and raw reaction 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
On my second day of no nicotine and weed and this is really helping eminem was on another level and i appreciate the both of yall for helping me recover...
You've got this, my friend.
@larryshair thanks man over a week and it's getting pretty tough but I won't give in. If you ever get a chance check out big krit at the bet awards he gives one of the best speeches I've heard on injustice in America it's worth a watch even if it doesn't go on the channel(video is recorded off a TV)
ruclips.net/video/2guR24BRqgg/видео.htmlsi=NvoJeatc_NuCUUsW
This is probably my favorite Em song. After my best friend passed i crawled into a bottle and a lot of self loathing. This song has too many parallels with what i experienced then id like to admit. Like Em: my daughter, this song basically on repeat, and finally reconnecting with my “family”, all helped me pull through. through the dark i was living in.
By the way Larry, another song that I think you would like a lot is "Believe", it's not very well known, it's from the "Revival" album it's a song that is very underrated but knowing you, it's another song that catches you and will turn you on the hairs stand on end... trust me.
Waiting for Believe too
There is a nice animated lyric video for it:
ruclips.net/video/CmxZ5V7quJw/видео.html
Made by Randy Criz who later did "Godzilla" and the official "Tone Deaf" lyric video.
Part of the reason I love Eminem is when he personified slim shady, I was a boy in elementary who was starting to feel the angst of peer pressure and fitting in. I never went through the struggles he did but I felt that an artist had the same outcome of anger. Then throughout his journey, it’s like I grew with him as he grew into the healthy state he got to. Love your reactions and to be sharing experiences with another fellow Christian
I was one of them people who tried to end it all and came extremely close and now im out the other side writing poems and trying to help others who are going through the same thing
Ahh this song smashes u in the heart,having kids of my own I understand what he is saying,I could never leave them behind to navigate this changing somewhat difficult life. Just keep going,improve ur own life,surround urself with honest reliable friends and family and eventually u will see everything will start to work out. Life would be boring if it was easy,it's the challenges u put on urself that will keep u going. Em is 1 of a kind and there will never be another like him
Awesome reaction as always👏, seen what em has gone through with drugs is one of the reason I don't even try to experiment any type of drugs
I suggest you react to "you're never over"
I was so trapped with 7 kids in a horrible DV relationship his music helped give me courage and strength to get us out!! It’s strange I know being a 49 year old mom with 9 grandkids now saying how Eminem helped saved me but it is what it is.
You know it’s going to be a good day when a new Eminem video is uploaded. Thank you 🤘🤘
It's so strange to have grown up with Eminem. Songs that were good when I was in my 20s have completely changed meaning as I'm in my late 30s.
I definitely understand the appeal to the legal drugs. I have struggled with the draw to them for many years.. it holds me so tight, I refused to take anything more than motrin after my csections. I have luckily escaped serious addiction but not because I'm better than anyone else or more resistant - it's pure luck. This song hits different now. Thank you for re-igniting my love of this incredible man.
Deja vu hits me hard I have seizures sometimes and wake up in a hospital full of tubes I hate it but I can not do anything about it because I was born with a fast heartbeat. But this fast heartbeat gives my brain the ability to understand all of what Eminem rhymes
Oh I forgot to mention that I’m a mid 30s male
Every time I hear this song, I don't know why ,but I automatically start to cry, because it reminds me of my dark past and the times I don't want to remember and experience ever again. :(
2 years clean on Nov. 13th. Never imagined how much life has to offer. Today I can finally look in the mirror and I don't want to destroy the man looking back at me. Recovery is possible!
That's wonderful!!!
you have to listen to "you're never over" next, it's a full dedication to proof and it's off of recovery as well
ruclips.net/video/HxHIqarAefY/видео.html
Second this so glad it made cc2 as well 👏
Yesss
What a beautiful reaction, Chris. You're a special man. A support-pillar, right here on the internet. I'm sure there are quite a few people out there leaning on you right now. If you were any lesser man, I'd be afraid of that burden, but not with you. Keep doing what you're doing, Chris. There will still be enough time for Angelina😊 Love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥♥
Well said 'AL '!!!
@@patriciajohnson9654 Hehe. Someone's been paying attention to the comments here....LOL Thanks, Patricia🥰 Chris is a special man 🙏
@@poolhallshark You can call me
Patti. Love your comments . ❤ from Colorado.
Thanks Pool for this comment. Chris may not know it but he has helped me and I’m sure many others. He shows love, understanding and so much wisdom. Thanks to you and Patti for always having kind and encouraging comments for Chris. He is a very special guy.
@@richv.1594 Thanks Rich. I love Chris. He's such a positive force in my life.
man I am not kidding you are possibly my favorite creator on youtube.. I genuinely love your Eminem reactions, keep up the solid work for years to come.
Wow, thanks so much Cody!
@@larryshair I highly recommend you react to “You’re never over” if you haven’t yet! It is a beautiful tribute to his best friend Proof, very heartfelt.
i just discovered the song
very surprising how teenage me could relate to eminem
one of the few songs that made me cry
Eminem and Chester Bennington. One still with us, one no longer here. Both have saved more lives through their music and stories than it's possible to know. Linkin Park will always be one of the GOATs, just like Eminem. I strongly, STRONGLY encourage you to listen to just about anything from Linkin Park if you haven't already. Hybrid Theory, Meteora, Minutes To Midnight, A Thousand Suns, Living Things, The Hunting Party, One More Light - those are the 7 studio albums by LP, and while not every song on them is a mega hit, I defy you to find one BAD song on any of them. Spoiler alert: There isn't one. Chester had mental health issues; I believe that is why he is no longer with us (via suicide) and was unable to pull himself out of it like Eminem was. Two of the greatest artists of all time, and they are more alike than they are different.
It took me months asking you for this reaction and for you to listen to this song, finally! And I knew you were going to love it, because it's emotional, it touches important points of Em and I think it grabs anyone who listens to it. It is one of my favorites.
The choir is sung by Black Sabbath (Ozzy), Em accompanies him from the second verse.
Em is very fond of rock, that's why there are also many songs that you hear some sound or reference to some iconic song.
There have been times that I was on a cocktail of substances listening to Eminem playing the same tracks over and over again in my own little world, when I was a teenager when I was in my early 20's when I was in my mid and late 20's I have been high drunk and other listening to eminem sober and all at different ages you can relate and find things and even understand more but eminem has helped me.
Dude watched her be prom queen or her graduation and watched through window so he wouldn't be seen and take away from her moment dude loves his kids
Thanks Chris for the reaction and the wisdom you drop! Hope you’re doing well and your family too.
Thanks Rich! You as well my friend!
Man, i love your reactions, not just the respect and appreciation for eminems music, but for people in general. I can hear the sincerity when you give out a hand to people you dont know but are willing to say 'talk to me' ..we are in this together! Legend! Give 'your never over' a go by eminem...his song for Proof! Brilliant song
Thanks Nathan! You're so very kind!
@@larryshair thank you! And hello from wales fella
someone probably already said it but I'm pretty sure it is Ozzy singing the chorus.
Omg finally! I’ve asked you to do this so many times! I’m so glad you finally have because I knew you would love understanding and empathising with more of his struggles through his music x
(It’s also a Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) - sample on the hook
Fine line is also very emotional and to me the most underrated song Em has ever done, keep waiting to see you listen to it
This album was my whole 2010 summer, brings me back every time I listen to a song from this album.
Both eminem and pentatonix changed my life. Then to find this channel and see the same happening to someone else is awesome.
Happy August Chris! So good to see your smile again. Hugs from Colorado🤗. Sure pray that your family is doing well. Appreciate your positive reactions.
Thanks Patti! Only about 4+ months to Christmas! lol
As someone with a daughter and who has gone (still going) through mental health issues, this song really hits home. Your reactions are awesome and it's great to see a genuine guy going through his eminem journey. Eminem is massively misunderstood by so many people.
Blessings to you and your daughter, Damian. I can't imagine the pain...
losing your best friend is the worst pain ever , just 22 years old miss him so much , this song is so damn beautiful
I'm so very sorry for your loss : (
I am not an Em fan but this song is really sending out a message. I love watching your vids cause you are so in touch with the details. You watch and hear every nuance in a song. Your disturbed, sound of silence was mind blowing. The details you pulled out of that video was very insightful. Love your work bro, keep it up. Oh and by the way, you are a very good looking man. Very good looking.
I knew this wouldn't be an easy one emotionally, but I'm so glad you reacted to it, since it's one of those songs about Em's life specifically and with substance (not as in drugs, but as in lyrical content). Songs like "Love The Way You Lie" are more about picking a topic and telling a story around it but it's not directly related to Em's life. Great reaction from you, I was tense through the whole thing and you gave great advice for people who are struggling! This one and "Not Afraid" I was waiting for the reactions and I loved both of them, for "Not Afraid" I really loved how hyped you were and stood up clapping and said it was the best song you ever heard 😄
But back to songs about his life directly - "Talking 2 Myself" ( ruclips.net/video/SwxT_O0HEFU/видео.html ) and "Guts Over Fear" ( ruclips.net/video/0AqnCSdkjQ0/видео.html ) still recommended.
Edit: Also a little unfortunate that this version of "Going Through Changes" had some minor faults in the lyrics, I guess not everyone looks through the videos they recommend to you 😄 It's not that bad though, were just some words.
As always your reaction videos differ from most because of the insight and the genuine emotion that you show. Thank you
The singer is a guy named Ozzy Osborne. Pretty famous in his own right. 🤯❤️
The sample used for the chorus is Ozzy Osbourne's Changes, that's him in the chorus as well as Em.
I always love the words of wisdom you have to give folks. There comes a point in addiction where your body need the drugs in order to not feel sick....the addiction now has an addiction.
Surround yourself with people who want to help make you a better you!! YES!! You cannot be motivated to make a change in your life if you are surround by fake friends, people who don't want to see you do better, people who just agree and nod their heads. Reminds me of a song by NF called Remember This....one of the verses is
Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think
Not people that nod their head and act like they agree
Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed
Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be,
If you haven't that song Chris, you need to, you'll love it. Great reaction, great words of advice, love your stories...and yep, same thing happens to me when he mentions Hailie, tears come. All the sound effects added before that last verse gets me every time...hair stands on end.
#payitforward ALWAYS 💯💯❤❤
Link to Remember This if you haven't seen ruclips.net/video/SNhOgS3BHjw/видео.html
Never heard this, but that ozzy sample is great, gives me chills. When I read the title, that lyric popped into my head.
Could you listen to talkin' 2 myself by Em I think it's a really good song and you'd really like it. Honestly this whole album is really goated
I love your channel so much and I respect you all love to you and thank you for the great reactions 🤍
Thanks LL!!!
i dont know if youre gonna do this but on the topic of Proof, he has an incredible song called "Kurt Kobain" , i would definitely recommended it, it was made 1 year before his death
Bro YES!!!
I'm so grateful i found your channel. you are the most understanding down to earth person i have witnessed on this app. I've got sentences in my head but i cant put them together on here i just appreciate everything you say. to everyone else reading this, you can only get so low, once you reach that point, eventually you will see everything come together and you will realise what a mistake it would've been if you went through with the dark thoughts in your head. please try to keep your head high and stay strong because you are loved.
Thanks so much!
@@larryshair keep up the grind mate I’m sure em will notice u one day, I’ve seen it happen with other reaction channels!
Eminem your never over proof tribute
FINALLY!! This is Ems best song in my opinion!!
im pretty sure he sampled Ozzy for the chorus. Thats whose singing I believe.
Thank you for this one your a great human and we appreciate your energy to spread positivity and stay working hard 💪 em is everything to me yes saved my life many occasions you are right to say he has helped so many 😊
Thanks Mark!
Again, what an awesome reaction! Thank you for sharing your lessons
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Man I really like this guy, I bet he’s a incredible father , if you have kids I hope they know just how lucky they are , keep it up Larry !
Thanks so much CC! If you watch my live vids, you'll see my youngest sons! He's quite a great kid along with my oldest! I'm a very lucky dad.
I’m sure millions have already said this but the hook is ozzy Osbourne, from his original song changes. Eminem just sampled the hook
I’ve been clean almost 2 years now and I used to listen to these songs while I was on drugs and now being off them I listen to it and it gives me the chills.
Love that!
I’m so glad you finally got to this one it’s an incredibly deep song and you’re always one of the best at breaking songs like this down
You should do Fine Line by Eminem
Its a song written for u
"It's Never Over" is and always be a song that will hit WAY to close to home as someone who lost his best friend to an overdose. The song is a tribute to Proof off Recovery.
You should do talkin 2 myself from the same album it’s a great one
It’s amazing I loved this album when it came out and really related took me another 6 years to figure out why though lol but 8 years later I’m sober and happy and still love this album
Never had a problem with drugs, but I am schizophrenic. Everytime I hear this song it always hits me in my gut. I actually cried a little watching this reaction, since I had a tough day at work today. Idk how to express myself, but I am gonna get with a psychiatrist asap now. I have been putting it off lately and I think I should do it tomorrow morning. Thanks for the great video and a reminder to always be reaching to get better everyday.
Wishing you all the best in the fight. You e got this.
Classic.. Em is Not Afraid put Emotions in a song. 🔥 🔥 🔥.. 💐 💐 💐 To the Greatest 👑 🐐. 🤘🏻
Dude, Opioids/Opiates(everything from vicodin to heroin) are the best thing to NEVER, EVER DO!! NEVER. NOT EVEN FOR PAIN! PLs trust me. Genuine pain turned me into a guinea pig of the opioid pandemic...and I made it to tell the tale. And YES, even though the majority of my issue WAS prescribed, I KNEW I deserved a better life and needed help to get it..I go to a methadone clinic now after years of prescribed opioid abuse.
(That's what the clinic calls my situation: "abuse via prescription directions"...wow)
I wouldn't say this is the song that did it for me but like I have said on and off in comments to you Larry that Em has done a lot while people hate him for unnecessary things and yeah he is a hellraiser but considering his upbringing, it showed us we can still live life. I have had many attempts on my life and others trying to kill me for their own personal gain, I had to be different from the pain that lead me down the void.
Em changed my life with his words and when he starts to do inspirational stuff like this, reflecting is what I end up doing. I was a mute on and off as a kid and got sick a lot. I couldn't use words the way everyone else did and I struggled with basic English and cannot speak Spanish yet after all this time because i needed to grow my speech comprehension. Listening to Em the first time around excited me because of his fun but crazy off the wall side. It made me want to push myself. Years later, I practiced Rap God for 5 months just to practice vocal work and improve my speech. I can safely say I can do just that and I got way better at rapping because of his complicated lyrical content. So every time I listen to his music from Mockingbird to Hailie's Song, etc. It changed my view to the world too. He gave me the strength to move on and that is why I will always support Marshall Mathers. I listened to so many of his songs
He's saved mine. There's been multiple times where the entire world is drowned out and im completely disconnected and the only thing I could use to get somewhat of a grip to pull myself back down to earth was Marshall.
That's so very well said. Hang in there bud
The rhyming in the last verse is pure gold! And no, Eminem sounds quite different from Ozzy Osbourne.. 😜
Love this song it has so much power.
I would love to see you react to "You're Never Over" which is one of Em's ode to Proof; or talking 2 myself which is some great self reflecting by em..
This is one of my favorites. I enjoy the hell out of your content.
Thanks so much Rob!
This song helped me a lot in my early recovery days
Much love Em❤️❤️❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.................Em tells stories like few others
Finally Larry! You got to this song!
I have read many times comments about people who said that the Eminem songs saved their lives......it's very shocking to know that......but is real that he talk about things in his songs that most people don't wanna talk about or know......and I think that for this reason he have a huge fan base and he still been one of the best artist of the latest years.....becaufe of that he is diferent.......Great reaction......!
Thanks so much! He is a great support and very relatable to those that have these struggles. Epic.
The the emotion you show on the channel on the music ,knowing when Em writes those heartfelt lyrics you know its the truth of an actual moment he went through.....I didn't get into his music when he was first on the scene I am 39 I just couldn't relate or take in his lyrics but the past 7 years I have went from the he's ok to he's hands down the G.O.A.T ......he puts it all out there,penmanship is masterery.....anyone says other about his music are just lying or plain out hater cause when your on top for 25 yrs you'll be hated ....sad as it sounds
THE 0THER VOICE IS OZZY OSBOURNE
You should really listen to Kurt Kobain by Proof! It’s a great song
Respect to you Chris for always looking out for us in more ways than one - much love
Thanks so much, Aj! Back atcha, bud!
I think you are such a good RUclipsr. I am really happy to see a guy in the age of my mom or dad understanding how big Eminem is. The lyrics and the story behind. I am from Germany enjoying you nearly every time you make a video. Thanks a lot man. Hopefully my English is good enough for you. Hope you understand my guy. 😊
Thanks Dennis!
Guts over fear please chris. Love your reactions x
Yesss🙏💛
the chorus is Ozzy Osbourne, btw ;)
when you said True friend it honestly reminds me of - STEVE-O - from jackass , the AMOUNT of time and energy his spent on bam trying to get him back on his feet and shows he believes in him even after all these years , its amazing to see , must be really sad and tiring though seeing your friend just waste away not taking advice and thinking your getting attacked by someone who is honestly looking out and doesn't want you to die =(
This song is so deep. I have 5 years 4 months off heroin/cocaine and man.. it hits home my wife died 2 months into my recovery from an Overdose and only made me stronger, made me hate the crap more
Hey I sugested that song too ! It helped me a lot , while I was going through a depression . I am much better now . Cheers from Brazil.
That’s Ozzy Osborne singing. He is sampling Black Sabbath’s Changes on this track.
Masterpiece
I don’t tune in on every video, but every once in a while I see a song you’re reviewing and I know you’re going to have emotions. This is one of them. Your emotions are what brought me here. They’re genuine, thats rare these days. Hope all is well
Thanks Alex!
I thank the Lord for his many blessings 🙌🏽 , thank you Sir for helping make this make sense. Em's a Monster and true inspiration!
-Rosco
Thanks so much, Rosco!
Would really recommend those kinda nights it's a more story sided song and it features Ed sheeran which is always a plus very slept on song on his newer album
